Well, the Ultrix 4.0 distribution finally showed up and I went through
enough of the installation rituals get build a test system and boot it
up - it seemed to run and didn't immediatly eat my disks or anything nasty.

Is anybody out there actually running 4.0 on a 5800 in a ~64 user
time-sharing/NFS server production environment?  What, if any, kinds of
problems are people seeing with 4.0?

By the way, reading all the release notes and stuff, it looks like the
guys a DEC have actually done a pretty good job at fixing some of the
traditional Ultrix 3.X problems that were strictly "grin and bear it"
problems up till now.  I hope there are'nt too many "interesting" new
bugs/"features" though...
